This manuscript is a complete copy (excluding the first four letters of Book XVI, not due to missing leaves) of Cicero's Epistolae ad Familiares, completed in Ferrara on 12 March 1468 by Gregorius de Martinellis de Buccassolo, as noted in the closing colophon (fol. 174v). The text is divided into sixteen books, with an illuminated initial of gold on colored ground at the beginning of each book.
